re: Skunk2 PRO Series 70mm Throttle Body - design problem.

I can see how the quoted is "OK" advice for someone that is able to get their car to idle at all. If you read through my original post, you'll note that the car would not idle at all. This thread...

Re: Not all Thermostats are created equal.... Informative and detailed post:

Yeah, I realize this post doesn't really cast a good light on non-OEM t-stats. It's not to say that all non-OEM t-stats are bad, but it does demonstrate that there are non-OEM t-stat manufacturers...

Re: Not all Thermostats are created equal.... Informative and detailed post:

re: Skunk2 PRO Series 70mm Throttle Body - design problem.

There are only a couple of things to focus on when fixing this problem.

1. You know it CAN close because you can close it by hand.
2. It is NOT closing presently.
3. Your throttle cable may...
